Daily Usenet Feed Size Hits 300TB
There are many things I've found on soulseek that are simply not on the public (and few private) trackers I check. I can only imagine the same applies to usenet.
similarly, soulseek is limited to 1 peer at a time, which some might consider "ill-suited to the task"
anyways I love www.slsknet.org
clients exist:

Downloader Recommendation
Just wanted to make a post on here for anyone who needs it, spotDL is probably the best option currently for downloading music with all the tagged data including lyrics, artist, album art, etc. directly from spotify but rips the audio from Youtube. It also has the capability to download entire albums and playlists from giving it a link. It requires a bit of set up but it's completely worth it!

I created a Spotify Downloader for the command line
this is cool and all but I already use a tool called spotDL. Is there any benefit to this over that?
What does it offer that's different than `spot-dl`? https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader
